Writing

Today’s lesson

Our writing focus this week is going to be writing an exciting description of the Pandora, using some of the figurative language skills we explored yesterday. We’re also going to make sure we organise our description into suitable paragraphs.

Today, we’re going to plan out our description.

Here are the sections I suggest you include. Watch my videos for some ideas. Feel free to make changes to the structure if you wish.

REMEMBER, this is a plan. You don’t need to write out all of your ideas in full. Use bullet points to help speed things up. Focus your attention on thinking about what should be included and how figurative language could be used to improve each section.

The location of Pandora

Terrain of Pandora

Animals of Pandora

Unobtanium

Bioluminescence

Good luck!! Remember to share a photo of your work using twitter or the Year 5 upload link at the top of the page.
